Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Your answer addresses the question directly but is a bit wordy and has some grammar issues. Make the response more concise, correct tense and article use, and add a brief specific detail. Use one or two linking words to connect ideas. Aim for 2–3 clear sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. Because my town was quite large and public transport was limited, I used it to travel to school and visit friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: You answer the question but hesitation sounds and small grammar mistakes reduce clarity. Remove fillers, use correct adjective forms (convenient), and give a specific reason or example. Use a linking word (for example/therefore) to make it coherent. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, bicycles are quite popular in my country. For example, many people use them for short commutes because they are cheap, convenient, and often quicker than driving in traffic.
× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because I needed to go somewhere with my own bike and my town was not really small so I needed it.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because I needed to go places on my own bike and my town was not small, so I needed it.
The original sentence uses past tense correctly but has awkward wording and redundancy. 'Go somewhere with my own bike' is unnatural; use 'go places on my own bike'. 'Not really small' is informal; 'not small' is clearer. Combine clauses with a comma before 'so'. Suggestion: simplify phrases and avoid redundancy to improve clarity.
× Yes, I suppose bikes. Bikes are quite popular in my country. Umm, because it's uh, very useful and convenience to go everywhere.
✓ Yes, I suppose so. Bikes are quite popular in my country because they are very useful and convenient for getting around.
Multiple issues: 'I suppose bikes.' is missing an object and is ungrammatical; use 'I suppose so.' The fragment 'Umm, because...' begins a sentence with 'because' creating a sentence structure error; combine with the previous sentence. 'It's...very useful and convenience' mixes adjective and noun incorrectly; use 'convenient' (adjective) and match subject: 'they are'. 'To go everywhere' is awkward; use 'for getting around.' Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments, use correct adjective forms, and ensure verbs agree with plural subject 'bikes'.
